Requires iOS 12.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.Check you height based on the current pressure and nearest weather station or by a manual entered reference. As a plus the current temperature is also displayed.
Explore the iPhone barometer sensor capabilities:
- Measure heights while you are in a elevator
- Check altitude while hiking on a mountain
- much more you can think of
Current version includes 8 unit modes for measuring pressure
Altitude in meter or feet

Air Barometer App by Maksym Buradchuk
Requires iOS 15.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Unlike most barometer apps that only display sea level pressure, this app can also show the actual atmospheric pressure at your current altitude. This makes the app closer to a real physical barometer and helps you better understand real local conditions.The app also provides clear pressure charts, allowing you to track changes throughout the day and monitor long-term pressure trends.

Access to the barometer is handled differently in iOS. How apps obtain pressure data Direct sensor access: To read raw atmospheric pressure data from the built-in barometer, an app does not need the "Motion and Fitness" permission. Apple allows the use of the CoreMotion framework (specifically the CMAltimeter class) to obtain relative pressure without a system request. Why "Motion and Fitness" is needed: This permission is only required if the app wants to track steps, floors climbed, activity types (running, walking), or collect historical data about your movements in the background. Internet (weather): An app can also retrieve data from nearby weather stations over the network, but this typically requires access to your location (Location Services) rather than to the fitness features. How to check where the data is taken from Enable airplane mode: Disable Wi-Fi and cellular data. If the app continues to instantly respond to changes in altitude (for example, if you lift your phone from the floor to the ceiling) or updates pressure in real time, it's using the built-in barometer. Check your location: Go to Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Location Services. If the app has access to your location, it may be downloading weather and pressure data for your city from the internet.
